Happy Thursday 13 Everyone!

I have a thing about steampunk. I love the look of it, the awesome and classic feel of it all. So for your viewing enjoyment, I give you 13 amazing steampunk treasures. I found these while browsing Google and had to share these awesome finds.

1) A steampunk mouse. Yes, an actual working mouse. Simply Beautiful. I wish I knew someone who could fashion me something like this.

2) What good is a mouse without the computer to go with it?

3) What’s a computer without the keyboard? Seriously.

4) But a desktop is so hard to lug around. Perhaps something more portable is needed for your computing needs.

5) But what if you need to take your work with you? A definite steampunker must-have. Flashsticks are soo important these days.

6) What good is all this great gear without the fashion? Ladies, what do you think? Call me strange, but I love it!

7) Let’s not forget the gentlemen. What do you think guys? Classic, or never in this life time?

8 ) Aww, how about some of the cutest toys you’ve ever seen?

9) When it comes to Steampunk, you can’t forget the goggles.

10) How about some fashion accessories ladies?

11) One never knows what they’ll run into in the Steampunk universe. Don’t forget to grab your Nerf guns!

12) But music is said to sooth the savage beast, right? Check out these. And yes, that is an ipod.

13) Last but not least, no one leaves home without their cell phone these days. So don’t forget yours.

Well, that’s it from me. Happy T13, and I hope you enjoyed this week’s amazing finds. 😀

I’m so glad! Lots of people have a hard time with the concept. It’s Victorian with a grunge and modern twist. Steam power and beautiful brass and wood. *sigh* beautiful stuff. Traditionalists scream for hand-made everything and actual steam power. 😀

I think I’d call ‘Wild Wild West’ on the fringe of Steampunk. Like the first steps in the right direction. The rest of the world wasn’t quiet up to Adam West’s inventiveness, so perhaps, if given another 10-20 years, Adam West’s world would have been much more steampunk based.

For anyone that cares. True steampunkers will buy materials and create their own attire ( for instance buy a pair of goggles, then whatever you what to fix to them). Some things will need more work than others, but the finish result is something you can take pride in knowing its an original ( unless you just copied someone else idea) either way you still made it and thats something to be proud of

dude, i don’t get it. all this newfangled shit, fucking ipods and laptops and shit — no matter how you disguise it … it’s still the opposite of steampunk. steampunk is more than the appearance, all the gears, cogs, and gauges are supposed to actually do something. gluing them onto the outer skin of a computer chip with a backlit LCD screen kind of defeats the purpose.

sorry for being critical. the stuff’s cool. it’s just something that bothers my brain whenever i see it …

Er… that computer is actually run by steam though I didn’t show it here, there were other picts of how he made it work via steam and pac-man game is crank operated, meaning it is very traditional steampunk. As for the rest, people like the feel of Victorian era things.
